Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation. Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

The exposition is Central and Eastern Europe's most prominent event for the plastics processing industry. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.

Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer,” said James Stephenson, director, Global Marketing, Geon Performance Materials. This creates a truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl that performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing petroleum-based plasticizers. Caption: Geon™ BIO Flexible Solutions are formulated with reFlex™ 300 plasticizer, derived from soybean oil and certified as 99 percent biobased by the USDA BioPreferred® Program.

Tested in accordance with JIS Z2801 and ASTM G21-15 standards, these additives protect molded plastic parts by inhibiting bacterial growth (99.9 percent or more) and resisting fungal and mold growth. In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part.
